Chapter 347 The New Boss Likes You Very Much

Today, Lin Jiali was wearing a simple white dress. The hem of the dress was torn, and as she walked with her slender legs, she looked like a fairy.

She was wearing a pair of black sunglasses, but it could not hide her unhappiness.

She was obviously a little unhappy. Along the way, she whispered to her assistant, “Ah Duo, isn’t it just the big boss of the company coming? If he is coming, then so be it. Why do I have to specially welcome him?

“I’m still eating fried skewers at home. I finally got a day to relax, and you called me over!”

Lin Jiali’s heart ached when she thought of the few remaining fried skewers on the table. She had bought them to reward herself for getting to two million fans! How would she dare to eat such things on a normal day?

In the end, she was called over by a phone call, wasting most of it.

Even before she left, she could not help herself. She walked to the door and took two more bites, but her heart still ached. ‘I don’t know when I’ll be able to eat them again…’ This also made her complain a lot more about the boss who had come to inspect her for no reason. ‘All the bosses who disturb female celebrities when they are rewarding their stomachs are no good!’

She was in such a miserable state. In order to maintain her figure, she usually didn’t dare to eat anything. Now that she finally let loose, she was even disturbed.

‘Damn it!’

Her assistant, Ah Duo, jogged beside Lin Jiali and whispered, “Hey, stop fooling around. What do you mean by ‘just a big boss’? That’s our bread and butter.”

Lin Jiali pouted. “My parents are my fans, not the boss… the boss is just a vampire.”

Her assistant pleaded, “My dear lady, didn’t you get to where you are today because of the company? Without the company, you don’t have any fans.”

Lin Jiali rolled her eyes. “I was trained by Sister Tan and Sister Chu. Even if I spent any money, it was the money of my previous boss. What does it have to do with this vampire?”

‘Inexplicably, it made sense…’

Assistant Ah Duo was speechless.

The two of them arrived at Lin Jiali’s resting room. Ah Duo closed the door and pulled Lin Jiali to sit down. She whispered to Lin Jiali, “Sister Jiali, let me share some gossip with you.”

Lin Jiali took off her sunglasses and took out a mirror to look at herself. She then moved her face closer to her assistant and pointed at her own face. “Ah Duo, do I look beautiful today?”

Just as Ah Duo was about to say something, she looked at Lin Jiali’s beautiful face and lost herself for a moment. When she regained her senses, she sighed and said to Lin Jiali, “Sister Jiali, you are so beautiful. How can there be such a beautiful woman in this world?”

Lin Jiali smiled beautifully and twisted her body happily.

Ah Duo realized that she had changed the topic and quickly changed the topic, “Sister Jiali! I was about to share some gossip with you!”

“Oh, oh,” Lin Jiali said as she turned to grab something from her bag. “What’s the gossip?”

Ah Duo looked around and said softly, “I heard from the company that Sister Chu and Sister Tan have fallen out. Sister Chu wants to leave with her people.”

Lin Jiali’s movements did not change. She took out a tube of lipstick from her bag and picked up the small mirror from earlier. As she drew on the lipstick, she said casually, “Didn’t they break it off a few times every year? They’re used to it.”

She looked up at her lipstick color in the mirror and mumbled, “This color doesn’t match my makeup.”

After muttering to herself, she slammed the mirror shut and said to Ah Duo, “They have been partners for five to six years. It’s normal for them to quarrel occasionally. In the end, Sister Tan was the one who was convinced.” Ah Duo said anxiously, “It’s different this time! Sister Chu is really taking people away! She has already talked to many people.”

Linkly was surprised. “Really? That big?”

Ah Duo’s head bobbed like a chick’s. “Yes, yes! It’s true!”

Lin Jiali asked, “Then why didn’t she talk to me? I’m still the top celebrity of the company!”

Ah Duo was speechless.

‘Oh good lord! That’s not the point, is it?’

Lin Jiali’s beautiful face scrunched up in self-doubt. “Am I… so unimportant?”

Ah Duo was speechless and decided not to go along with Lin Jiali’s silly way of thinking. She asked softly, “Sister Jiali, if I let you choose, who will you follow?”

Lin Jiali hesitated for a moment before saying, “I think Sister Tan is more easygoing.”

A smile appeared on Ah Duo’s face. “I’ll only follow you. I’ll go wherever you go.”

Linkari pinched Ah Duo’s cheek. “You’re one to

talk.”

After saying that, she threw the lipstick into her bag and reached her hands behind her neck. She waved her black hair and said, “Alright, let’s not talk anymore. Let’s go find Sister Tan. Didn’t Sister Tan say to meet her earlier?”

Ah Duo agreed. “Mmm-hmm!”

The two of them left the lounge and headed to the general manager’s office.

As a proper management company, New Arts Culture actually had quite a number of employees. After all, even though it was small, it had all the essentials. Just in terms of position, New Arts Culture had managers, celebrity scouts, celebrity assistants, performance teachers, music teachers, dance teachers, literary planners, market specialists, and so on. There was even… a milk tea shop employee.

That’s right. As celebrities and employees liked to drink milk tea, Tan Mei even opened a milk tea shop downstairs for them.

When there was no business, this milk tea shop was open to the public. After a year, there was still a small profit without any loss… Arriving at the general manager’s office, Lin Jiali knocked on the door. A tired woman’s voice came from inside. “Come in.”

Lin Jiali walked in with a smile as beautiful as a flower. She called out sweetly, “Sister Tan, you were looking for me?”

Ah Duo also called out from the doorway, “Sister Tan.”

After Tan Mei nodded at her, she closed the door and left the room for Lin Jiali and Tan Mei.

When Lin Jiali walked in, she noticed that Tan Mei did seem to be in trouble. The desk in front of her was covered with contracts and looked messy. Tan Mei’s dark circles and tiredness could not be hidden by the thick foundation.

Lin Jiali asked softly, “Sister Tan, are you okay?”

Tan Mei shook her head and gestured for Lin Jiali to sit on the sofa. She then stood up and said, “Lin Jiali, the company is in trouble…”

When Lin Jiali heard this, she said directly, “Sister Tan, are you going to deduct my salary…?”

Then, before Tan Mei could reply, she said, “You can give me a haircut… But remember to leave me 10,000 yuan a month. Otherwise, I won’t even have enough for my daily expenses.”

Tan Mei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. However, Lin Jiali’s thoughtful words made her mood better. “You’re thinking too much. If the company is doing so badly that you have to get a salary reduction, we might as well close down.”

Linkali asked in confusion, “Why?”

Tan Mei sighed and told Lin Jiali about Chu Hong

Lin Jiali’s mouth opened so wide that she could swallow a whale.

After a while, she said in surprise, “How could Sister Chu Hong do this! This is too much! This company is her blood, sweat, and tears! She actually destroyed the company just for some money!”

Tan Mei smiled bitterly. “I didn’t expect it either.”

Lin Jiali jumped to her feet. “I’ll go find her!”

As she said that, she wanted to run away!

Tan Mei quickly stopped her. “Jiali, things have already come to this. It’s useless even if you try to persuade her.”

Lin Jiali stopped.

Tan Mei said, “Furthermore, she hasn’t even returned to the Imperial Capital. She’s still in Shanghai. You can’t find her even if you wanted to.”

Lin Jiali’s shoulders drooped slowly, then she turned her head. “Then Sister Tan… how can I help you?”

Tan Hong finally revealed her purpose. “Jiali, I do need your help.”

“Our boss will be here soon. I think he’ll probably see you. I hope you’ll be friendly when the time comes. Then… tell us more about the trainees and the employees who are leaving.”

“After all, although they chose Chu Hong, they still… got along. Sigh.” Tan Mei’s eyes were filled with fatigue.

This was the most she could do.

After returning to New Arts Culture, she pushed for a contract and conducted a private investigation according to Su Yang. She found out that there were some employees in a few departments as well as some artists who were acting weirdly.

After confirming that they were going to betray the company together with Chu Hong, Tan Mei’s heart ached.

However, she, who had always been a sentimental person and could not bear to think about Su Yang’s arrangement with those people last night. She felt that… it was too cruel. That was why she begged Lin Jiali.

It was not that she did not want those people to be punished, but… she did not want Su Yang to be so extreme. After all, that would ruin them…

When Lin Jiali heard this, she was a little confused. “Sister Tan, I don’t know my new boss. There’s no point in persuading him, right?”

Tan Mei shook her head. “He… treats you differently.”

Lin Jiali was curious. “Why do you say that?”

Tan Mei sat back in her chair and said slowly, “The contract for the drama that you starred in, the new announcement that you wanted to appear, and Chu Hong personally taking care of you were all arranged by the new boss.”

Lin Jiali covered her mouth, her big eyes full of surprise. “What?”

Tan Mei nodded. “I find it strange too. I don’t think he knows you, but he’s very familiar with your situation. Every time you encounter a problem, he would call me and ask me to solve it for you. “So… you must be able to talk to him.”

The two chatted for half an hour. Finally, Lin Jiali left the office in a daze.

She could not understand why the new boss would take care of her. She did not know him at all…

‘Don’t tell me… he’s conspiring against me?’

Lin Jiali was a little worried… After all, artists were still very subject to agency restrictions.

Her assistant had been waiting outside the door. When she saw Lin Jiali coming out, she immediately went up to her, “Sister Jiali, Sister Tan, what did you talk about?”

Lin Jiali awkwardly told Ah Duo what Tan Mei said.

However, Ah Duo did not care at all. Instead, she encouraged Lin Jiali, “Sister Jiali! This is a good thing! The new boss values you! He will give you more resources to make you popular!”

Then, she muttered softly, “It’s better than that so-called male fan of yours. That guy looks like he’s up to no good.”
